Gabrielle first me contacted almost two years ago. The reason for her inquiry was not for engagement or wedding photography, actually it was for family portraits. A sweet idea as a Christmas gift for her parents from her and her sister. Christmas came and went and in the following spring we scheduled time for their session on an April day that turned out to be very, very cold! That day was also the day I first met Galen. Now Galen was only Gabrielle’s boyfriend at the time, but I could easily tell how much he adored her. After all, how many boyfriends tag along on a family photo session only to help carry purses and coats in the sub-freezing temperatures? Well Galen was just that type of guy and you could tell what these two had was something special. It was obvious the entire family enjoyed seeing Gabrielle and Galen so happy together. I even was able to take a few picture of the happy couple together (see it here).
Fast forward a year and a half; I receive an email from Gabrielle. She was so excited to tell me she and Galen were now ENGAGED and they had both hoped I would be available for their wedding day. I was so touched that she remembered me, and completely honored they wanted us to photograph their wedding. We scheduled the engagement session for the peak of Fall colors and the Arboretum did not disappoint. These two kept each other laughing the whole time and we enjoyed connecting again as old friends, this time for engagement photos!
We are looking forward to celebrating with the entire wonderful family next year!
